A method of constructing an antenna of a portable communication device. The method includes wrapping a conductive element around a flexible support, coupling the conductive element and the flexible support to a rigid connector to assemble an antenna core, and coating the antenna core with a room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone layer. The method further includes fitting a first half of a silicone rubber sheath and a second half of a silicone rubber sheath around the antenna core, compression molding the first half of the silicone rubber sheath and the second half of the silicone rubber sheath around the antenna core, and bonding, by the RTV silicone layer, the silicone rubber sheath to the antenna core.

External antenna for portable communication device

A portable communication device and antenna device with removeable matching circuit is provided. The antenna device includes: a base; an antenna element; an electrical connector at the base; a matching circuit removably positioned between the electrical connector and the antenna element, the electrical connector and the antenna element in electrical communication via the matching circuit; and a shell removably attached to the base, the shell surrounding and protecting the matching circuit. The portable communication device includes the antenna device, for example removably attached to an antenna receptacle.
